I'm sure you've this before but it can't be stressed enough, but research any fish before you ever buy it. Impulse buying in this hobby can be deadly. I learned this the hard way with my first marine tank after just 3 months, my Golden Headed Sleeper Goby took care of every living thing in my live sand. There wasn't a pod to be found in it anywhere. That is the best advice I can give you.

 Have had leapard wrasse for a couple of months now. He is eating very well. For feeding, you may want to try mysis shrimp, plankton and krill. The large (whole) pieces of krill, not the blended up stuff. When he gets ahold of a large piece of krill, he will scrape it against rocks to get it out of the shell. The mysis shrimp works well. The tankmates love it as well. Don't be alarmed if you don't see the wrasse at night. They will bury themselves in the sandy substrate.
Remember you did not pick a cheap hobby!
